Limerick Contest Will Continue Through June
Announcement was made yesterday that, owing to the great success and enthusiasm aroused by the Abe Lyman Cocoanut Grove limerick contest, the contest will be kept open until the beginning of summer vacation in June.
Each day one of these limericks is published in the Trojan and each week the winner is chosen and given a reservation for Friday evening at the “grove.” That the contest is proving to be popular among the men of the campus is shown by the large number of limericks which have been submitted.
Bill Teetzel, manager, says that several of the winners have been people o haVe submitted limericks each k find not stopped sending them ijn' account of failure of the first r two to win the prize. He sug-that if some of the others who e only turned in one limerick do ?wise they will probably have the ;asure of spending a very pleasant ening at the Cocoanut Grove at the ixpense of the “house.”
lures of the many features on the Roed Show bill. The pair have worked up a novel program with their banjo and sax which shows a great amount of versatility and talent.
Hal Williamson and Phil Wernett are hard at work on their act which, they declare, will puzzle the audience from start to finish, including any faculty members. This is the first time an act of this nature has been presented on a University of Southern California stage, and so it will be a complete novelty to the students as well as outsiders attending the performance.
Vivian Meade says that this stunt will have a special value for women students. “It will surprise, amuse and instruct many a wayward co-ed,” this committee member declared. The nature of the act is being kept secret for the present.
The final selections for the Road Show will be announced in Monday’s Trojan.
by those in charge the most successful concert tour in tihe history of the organization, the University of Southern California Band arrived back on the campus yesterday.
The first concert which the Trojan musicians presented was before the entire student body of Santa Ana High School last Monday afternoon. Although the band has made several concert trips in previous years, the concert at Santa Ana High School this year was the first ever presented in that city.
Remaining over night in San Diego Monday night, the band members next entertained with concerts at San Diego High School, where they played before an assembly estimated at 2500 students. Other concerts in San Diego included the State College and Naval Base Hospital. The naval officers at the Naval Base Hospital headquarters invited the musicians to dinner after the concert.
According to San Diego press reports, the Trojan band concerts were well received at all of their engagements.
Traveling over the scenic inland route from San Diego, the band reached Riverside Tuesday night. On Wednesday morning the band gave a concert for the combined student bod-
Junior College and were very enthusiastically received.
The most popular features of the concerts were the xylophone and chimes solos. The program included various kinds of band music, including marches, overtures, popular fox-trots, waltzes, descriptive selections, solos, medleys of patriotic airs and ended with the playing and singing of “All Hail Alma Mater.”
Harold Roberts, director of the Southern California Band and former U. S. C. student, accompanied the musicians and directed the concerts at the various towns.
Roswell Allison had entire charge of the Band’s trips this year, as he was responsible for all arrangements and schedules of concerts. Allison states that next year the band will probably take a more extended tour, lasting over a period of seven or eight days and covering a greater amount of territory.
Next Wednesday evening will be Trojan Band Night at K. H. J., as the band will present its entire concert program to the radio fans throughout the country from seven-thirty to eight o’clock. Hal Williamson is co-operating with Roswell Allison in making the final arrangements for this program by the band.
By MOORE VOTES
From the stack of signed petitions that were turned into Miss Flock in Gwynn Wilson’s office yesterday, it looks as though every student on Souther* California’s campus, including the professional schools, has signed his tuimf to a petition of some description. If this can be used as a standard, the coming election on May 21 will be one that will linger in campus political memories as long as the Tower Statues furnish a landing place for the Trojan
C pigeons.
Political guns will be muffled but not silenced during the coming week. Petitions will have to be handed in today, and next week will see the check ing of these petitions. The sight of white papers flashing between and af ter classes all over the campus it-bound to be missed, but it is said that heavy political lines from peanut politicians will make up in sound what is lost in sight .
From campus comment, it is said that every student who has ever talked before people than are in his immediate family has ben tackled by some aspirant to deliver a nomination speech in chapel a week from oday. Some of the ones who have consented to go through the ordeal of a nominating speech are going through the first stages of their grooming. The speech** are always looked forward to by the entire Southern California Student Body. The Lawyers are said to bt furnishing most of the material for th* ranks of the political nominators. MANY PETITIONS OUT Although the petitions, excepting those for Student Body President, require only fifty signatures, by tho way the blank sheets went out, thert would have been a small-sized paper shortage had the petioning been kept
System to be Success Must Have Unanimous Student Support
Resulting in the approval of the Southern California Examination system as was proposed by the Executive Committee of the Associated Students, a meeting of the University faculty was held April 21, at which the vote was in favor of the system, in so far as it is feasible and consistent with the examination plan adopted by the faculty.
According to the opinion of the Administration, any thorough-going honor system, to be effective, should receive the whole-hearted and unanimous support of the student body ;but it would hardly be wise to atempt to put this system into effect since it was voted by a small majority in student assembly; that is, if the proposed system wrere an honor system in the full sense of the term. However, the faculty
“HEALTH DAY” IS HELD ON CAMPUS
Tuesday Assembly Devoted to Furtherance of Health Problem In Nation
NOTICE
Students who expect to do practice :eaching during the 1925 summer session, or the first semester of the school year 1925-26, are requested to call at the office of the Dean of the School of Education, 104 Administration Building, to fill out the necessary application blank.
Biology Society
Hold Beach Supper
This evening at five o’clock members of the Biology Honor Society with their invited guests of the Alchemist Club will leave the campus of the University of Southern California and journey to the cottage of Professor Ulrey at Manhattan Beach. The chief entertainment of the annual festivity will include a beach supper, a grunion hunt on the beach in the moonlight, and the initiation of the new members, '
The grunion is a small fish of from six to eight inches in length and is regarded as one of the most peculiar and interesting of the inhabitants of the sea on account o fits ability to live on land as well as in the ocean. Monthly, during the months of April to August, thousands of grunion come in from the ocean and a^e washed up and left on the sand. They burrow into the sand, lay their eggs and are washed out to sea again. Two weeks later the flood tide carries out the younng grunion which have by that time hatched and grown considerably.
Plans for the staging of Health Day on the Trojan campus on Tuesday, May 19, have been formulated by C. P. Nichols, head of the Physical Education Department, who is in charge of the affair. Mr. Nichols is the originator of this idea, and he has secured permission from President von Kleinsmid to declare this a Health Day. A unique program is being arranged ior this day, which will include many features concerning health. The Tuesday assembly on this date is to be used to further this idea.
Dr. Barnard will be the principal speaker of the day, and he will speak on some topic that deals with health. He is said to be one of the best known health authorities of this city, and according to Coach Nichols, his talk, aside from being educational and interesting, will prove every entertain-' ing to everyone.
Other features of the day, will include many stunts and acts by the gym classes of the school. The Domestic Science class has promised to present a food demonstration, and many interesting facts concerning good diet will also be given. Free literature relating to health will be given on the campus, and according to those in charge, this literature will prove valuable to all.
Another important feature of the program will be the health poster exhibit. These posters were made by and are to be exhibited at various places on the campus. The prize winners, as well as the others, will be seen on this day. The Health Supervision Class is in charge of the conducting of the health campaign.
OUR WAMPUS CAT TAKES ON A POLICY
Wampus Kat to Appear With New Editorial Views
Said the Governor of North Calo-liua to the Governor of South Calolina, “Tell that to the Marines.” In other words, if the Wampus appears once a month the poor fish that read it shouldn’t complain that the country is going dry. But the joke is on the whale.
Wamp has an editorial policy. Isn’t it nice to have an editorial policy? No, Algernon, not like the one with a red seal that papa bought to hang over the mantel. It’s a real swell policy. It has thirteen points, except that Woodrow Wilson got there first. Otherwise it is suitable for framing. Here are a few samples:
Point 1—There are lots of funny people in the world.
Point 2—They don’t know it.
Point 3—As the Walrus said to the Carpentt This hurts me worse than it does you.”
The other ten are worse.
The next number of the Wampus is to be a real collegiate number. Nevertheless it is open to the public. It has lots of funny things in it. The funny things were written on typewriters by funny people. They were read by the editor, and that was not funny at all. But the editor is really a very funny man.
The next number of the Wampus is known as the Moron number. And that iy very funny too. because everybody knows how funny the moron is on account of the fact that it is so rare. Well, isn’t that jolly!
Lots of people who shouldn’t go to college. If they feel lonely all they have to do is to buy a copy of the Moron number of the Wampus and then there will be two of them.

main an examination system, and its I ^ v
provisions are really not in conflict with such plans as the faculty have made to promote honesty in examinations.
The following is the plan adopted by the faculty for the holding of examinations:
explains finals
“1. That final examinations be scheduled at the close of the present semester on the basis of a two hour period; it being understood that this is an experiment only and not necessarily a permanent change.
“2. That the final examinations be weighted not to exceed 25 per cent in fixing the student’s semester grade This will in general involve the use of two or more written tests during the term, the consideration of daily recitations, notebooks, etc.. with a large freedom on the part of the teacher as to detail.
“3. That it be suggested to the student body officers that a campaign be undertaken to bring about a consideration of the whole question (of student honor) as related to the very foundations of character; and that further the faculty pledge itself to aid officially and individually efforts of the students to solve this difficult problem.
“4. That in simple fairness to the

Because of the rush and the high cost of ink. it is said that the respective political condidates have held back their loaded cigars. If campuf sentiment can be relied on, a few cartons of cigarettes would be more persuasive than would the political stogies. This is a matter that is entirely up to the candidates, however, one aspirant declaring that he has his order in for some cigarettes with his name and the position to which he at-pirrs printed on them. Time will tell. The following politicians have reported to Miss Frock with their re quired number of names. For executive committee: Ronald Snavely, Burdette Ives. Bill Delphy, Ravelle Harrison, Mike Elwood, Eloene Truitt.
